Paid leave
The model should not exclude people whose responsibilities make unpaid time impossible.
For employers and people leaders
Could Selfternity™ Leave prevent avoidable resignations?
Selfternity™ Leave proposes an option between continuing to work under serious depletion and leaving employment altogether.
The missing option
Today
- Serious depletion
- Powering through
- Resignation
- Lost knowledge and hiring costs
With Selfternity™ Leave
- Serious depletion
- Protected, paid leave
- Structured recalibration
- Planned return to work
The principles any future policy must protect
Job protection
Approved leave should protect continuity of employment.
No career or promotion penalty
Using the policy should not damage someone's future inside the organisation.
Manager training
Managers need practical guidance so privacy, communication, workload and return expectations are handled consistently.
Structured return
Reintegration should include a planned return rather than an immediate return to the conditions that contributed to depletion.
This remains a developing proposal. Responsible employer, research and policy perspectives will be needed as the proposal develops.
